How one group is using artificial intelligence to replant coral reefs

Titouan Bernicot was 16 when he had an epiphany: Everything he loved about living on an island in the South Pacific was tied to coral reefs. Bernicot, 23, started Coral Gardeners in April 2017 from his bedroom. Now, he and his team are setting their sights on an audacious goal: to replant 1 million corals across the world by 2025. If they have any hope of hitting that number, they'll have to dramatically increase their planting, an effort that is being aided by a new artificial intelligence system. "Our goals for the next couple of years are to become the largest and most advanced coral restoration program on the planet," he said in an interview outside his office on the island.
